Just down the street from the Amway center is Timothy Green’s restaurant, 534 Scratch Kitchen.
“A lot of excitement, we’re going to have every TV on the Magic game and we’re going to be cheering on,” Green said.
Green said having the games back at the Amway Center is a big deal for all of the restaurants and surrounding businesses.
“I’m really excited, it’s just been a long time coming; the Orlando Magic, including Orlando City Soccer, is about 50 percent of our business, so I’m just really excited to see that there are actual games happening,” Green said.
